But he didn't beat Cho's high score.....

Bad taste.

R. Budd Dwyer's

Or that lady who tried to shoot herself because the station she was reporting for always gave her lame stories. She was supposed to be reporting on something big then they switched her to something along the lines of a dumb animal story.

Re: FOX NEWS FAIL - Carjacker commits suicide LIVE

the anchor was saying "get off" as in "get off of that camera so they don't see this guy kill himself"

Re: FOX NEWS FAIL - Carjacker commits suicide LIVE

incredibly weird to see that anchor say "get off" a hundred times in a row

ugh this just made me feel sort of sick for some reason

"get off (it)" just means "get that shit off the air NOW"

Although this is a broad generalization, if you're stealing cars and out doing bad things then you're kinda at the end of your rope anyways.

I do have to give Fox News a hand for handling that professionally, if anything. Besides, any kind of death is unappealing.

Well, that was pretty interesting.

I'm honestly surprised they couldn't pull it off the air in time, he had that gun to his head for a good second or so before he actually killed himself. Oh well, mistakes happen I suppose.

Re: FOX NEWS FAIL - Carjacker commits suicide LIVE

it sucks too cuz i remember a couple years ago watching a live car chase on fox news that lasted like 30 minutes, and it ended up in a neighborhood where the suspect crashed, got out quickly and ran only to get hit by a squad car a split second later. the squad car seemingly came out of nowhere (because of the trees in the way) and the dudes shoes flew straight off. it was hilarious and i remember the anchor specifically saying "normally we wouldn't show that but the suspect appears alright haha" and kept running away.

that must've been like 5 or 6 years ago too lmao

This is pretty crazy. Not nearly as graphic as Budd Dwyer though (not posting, may get banned for being too graphic). It's not surprising at all that someone would do such a thing, but it is strange how they were "prepared" to stop it but someone they couldn't in time? The reporter repeatedly yelled to stop it but they let it go. It was good that he apologized, since younger audiences would be more affected by this.
